As per Christian’s comments the CA version of this mushroom is quite different from the eastern Peck mushroom by this name and there are those who are interested in the differences and they would like some east coast material

The russula was found partially buried on a fairly steep slope leading to a stream. I didn’t get any spores to drop from this one, so it’s likely an immature specimen. Maybe this is why no staining/bruising was observed on the gills.
